XRAY - Model racing cars

Hi all,


I was racing on Sunday, and just couldn't get confident with my cars setup. It felt pretty much on a knife edge handling wise, with the car fairly easy to grip roll on tight slow corners etc or medium flowing corners. I ended up removing a row of spikes from the outside of both front types (Grip A - Astro track) to try and improve this situation.

I'm just wondering what everyone else's train of thought is on resolving this problem. I'm used to 1/10th gas trucks which by comparision are very hard to roll, my rally X seems a lot easier. Driving it I have no confidence to push on for fear of it rolling over....The tyres are the same as the quick guys so there must be something wrong with the setup..

Any advice would be gratefully recieved

Cheers

Adrian

Tricky one.....originally a month ago (slightly damper conditions), the car was bucking about all over the place with a harder setup and I think the original tyres I was using which were more grippy than my new set were excentuating the front bucking effect by climbing the bumps as the car was arriving at them. This is why originally I soften the suspension, which seemed ok in the slightly damp conditions last time out when the tyres were slipping slightly rather than biteing and throwing the car on it's lid like last weekend...

Thankfully the track is a perminant track, so I can go testing and try a variety of things to try and work out what the problem is in a controlled maner whereby hopefully I can isolate exactly how to get round this problem..

Currently I'm thinking hard suspension, from 40W to 50W front, and a slight increase in caster to try and loose it do or die bite! One at a time though so I can see the effect each has!

Pain though as I'm a total confidence driver, I go fast when I think the car isn't going to end up on it's lid... Early days though
